FYI i'm back to 4.23 W (that's damn good, TLP still used) with Ubuntu 4.11 RC1 kernel (including APST commit by default). APST is the key for my problem, since I reach PC8 (powertop) at the same time. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1664602 -- You received this bug

My Dell BIOS is up-to-date. The IMEI firmware is included in Dell's BIOS updates, there is no separate package. I'll try to check IMEI version anyway. PS : I do use NVMe drive, before that my Skylake Xeon 1535M was eating very few watts (~4.5W), now it's ~8.2W ; I don't know what to think about

@djao, sorry for the slow response. I hit pc8 briefly, but that's with most everything tuned, and running nothing. Lots of applications seem to be pretty power hungry for me. That's going to have to get tackled by each upstream project before we integrate solutions into the distro. @fthx.

I applied the Intel IMEI update and now I can reach pc6 and pc7 pretty consistently but never pc8, pc9, or pc10. Does this agree with your observations? Using a T460s with NVMe and kernel 4.4.0-36-generic #55 on 16.04, no powertop tuning. All combinations of AC/battery and display on/off were

Closing as invalid, as the root cause was clearly the IMEI firmware in my case, and has since been verified. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Sorry hit post too quickly. Anyhow, so it looks like upgrading the IMEI firmware now allows my amt/vpro capable laptop to reach low-power power pc-states. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

So I recently had to run a certain Microsoft OS while debugging another issue. I ran a number updates during that session. The most important of which was an IMEI firmware update. I can't prove for certain that the IMEI firmware update resolved this issue, but it is the mostly likely

Dave, this is interesting to read: http://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/4thgencorefamilydesktopvol1datasheet.pdf Section 4.2.5, pages 54 through to 58. See the C2 package state, it maybe that the package is not able to transition to C3 because of those constraints. -- You received this bug

Thanks Dave, that data clearly shows that the CPUs are getting into the deeper C states yet the processor package is indeed showing that it is not going into a deep power state. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.
